A Royal Encounter with Elsa and Anna

A royal encounter with Elsa and Anna at Arendelle Castle

No visit to the World of Frozen would be truly magical without Elsa and Anna, the beloved heart of Arendelle. With A Royal Encounter, Disneyland Paris invites you to step inside the royal castle for one of its most enchanting and heartfelt meet & greets, where you can share a special moment with the two sisters themselves.

The Royal Encounter is far more than a quick hello; it is a thoughtfully crafted experience. Step through the grand Portrait Gallery, adorned with treasures from Arendelle’s past, and be greeted first by Anna or Elsa, then soon after by her sister. There is time for photos, autographs, and heartfelt conversation. What makes this truly special is that, for the first time at Disney Adventure World, you can actually explore the halls of Arendelle Castle, rather than just admiring it from afar as in other Disney parks.

To ensure that this experience runs smoothly and is relaxed, you can use the Virtual Queue in the Disneyland Paris app, as is now the case with many popular characters. This guarantees a fixed time and prevents long waiting times on site.

A Royal Encounter stands out as a must-see highlight in the World of Frozen. Whether you are meeting the sisters for the very first time or returning as a devoted fan, this magical moment is sure to become a cherished memory.

What you can expect at Royal Encounter

A Royal Encounter with Elsa and Anna is an unmissable experience for any Frozen fan. In this enchanting moment, the sisters welcome you through the grand doors of Arendelle Castle and into their throne room, where every detail, colour and decoration sweeps you straight into the heart of their kingdom. While children will be dazzled, adults, too, will find themselves caught up in the magic.

The encounter is clearly structured and pleasantly organised, giving you plenty of time for photos, autographs and a brief chat. Anna, in particular, likes to take a moment longer, while Elsa's calm, warm manner ensures unforgettable memories.

Reserve your spot in the virtual queue, gather your camera and autograph book, and get ready to step into Arendelle Castle for a visit as unique and sparkling as a snowflake.

How the meeting with Elsa and Anna works

As A Royal Encounter with Elsa and Anna is one of the most popular experiences in World of Frozen, there is no conventional queue. Access is only available through the Virtual Queue in the Disneyland Paris app.

You reserve a place through the app and then receive a return time for your visit to Arendelle Castle. This means you do not have to wait at the location for long and can spend the time exploring World of Frozen or other areas of Disney Adventure World.

How to join the Virtual Queue:

  • Open the Disneyland Paris app.
  • Make sure your tickets are linked to your account.
  • Select ‘Characters’, then A Royal Encounter with Elsa and Anna.
  • Choose an available time slot.
  • Wait for the notification in the app and return to Arendelle Castle at the specified time. Once you have been called, you have one hour to arrive for your audience.

Important: This Meet & Greet is not accessible without the Virtual Queue. Places can fill up quickly, so try to reserve yours early if meeting Anna and Elsa is a fixed part of your plans.

Tips for A Royal Encounter with Elsa and Anna

  • Prepare for your audience: Your time with Anna and Elsa will pass more quickly than you might expect. Think beforehand about whether you would like a particular photo or whether there is something you would like to tell the two sisters or ask them.
  • Talk to Anna and Elsa: The best moments often come not from the perfect photo, but from the conversation. You could ask Anna about Kristoff, Sven or perhaps even Hans. The last of these is guaranteed to prompt a lively reaction. With Elsa, you can of course ask about Olaf or how the little snowman is doing.
  • Take time to notice the details: The Royal Encounter does not begin only when you reach the Throne Room. Look around as you make your way through the castle, as many details and references are easy to miss at first glance.
  • Have your camera and autograph book ready: Souvenir photos are naturally part of the experience. If you collect autographs, the royal audience with Anna and Elsa is one of the nicest occasions to add to your collection.
